Offering resources to recruit and retain world-class faculty, supporting research and innovation

Supporting the Divinity School’s centers and initiatives—including the Center for Reconciliation; Duke Initiative in Theology and the Arts; and the Theology, Medicine, and Culture initiative—encouraging students and faculty to use their Christian faith to engage with crucial issues in the world.

An Opportunity to Serve

“Several people have made small contributions over time to help fund my scholarship. I will never meet most of them. And though I do not know their names and would not recognize their faces, I feel deeply indebted to them. Their giving altered not only my seminary experience, but my entire life by relieving me of the burden of debt. My seminary education is surely the greatest gift I have ever been given; a gift from God through the gifts of others. ” —Dane Womack, D’14
